ProfessorIt is neither. Prime numbers have two factors, which are 1 and itself. Composite numbers have at least 3 factors, which are 1, itself, and at least one other factor. One does not fit either definition, since the only factor of 1 is 1.
(It used to be considered a Prime number, but they changed the rules sometime in the mid-20th century.)

Is 114 prime or composite?
It's clearly not prime; no even number is prime. It is composite.
Is 47 a composite number?
No, it is not a composite number, it's a prime number.
Is 34 a composite or prime?
Composite. Since it is very easy to decipher if 34 is prime or composite, I assume you are unfamiliar with the definitions of prime and composite. A prime number is a number that has only two factors: 1 and itself. A composite number is a number that has more than 2 factors: 1, itself, and other(s). You can immediately tell that 34 is composite because it is even, and the number two is the only EVEN number that is prime.
